Valve or Laxp.—The value of land in England has fallen 33 per cent. in ten years but this is nothing compared with the decline in some parts of New England. An exchange reports the sale of a Vermont farm with baild- ings for fifty-two dvoiiars, the farm cutting fifteen tons of hay per year. Evidently access to the great market of 60 millions of people has not brought universal prosperity to Ver- mount.

A Hanpsome Foxtune.—Says the Halifax Chronicle: The estate of the late Mrs. Judy: Wilmot is valued at $40,(00. The will has not yet been probated in consequence of the absence of the witnesses. It is understood that Mrs. Wilmot leaves $200 each to her eighteen nieces, $100 to her nephew, son of Dr. Lewis, and $8,000 to charities, principally in New Brunswick. Edward Wilmot, half brother of the late judge, is said to be the sole executor.

BURGLARS ON THE Move.—An attempt was made to break into Sentner’s grocery store, corner of Grafton and Cumberland streets, at an early hour on Sunday morning. The wou'd-be burglars were frightened off before elfecting an entrance. Several other attempts at burglary are reported. There is evidently a gang at work, and it would be well for citi- zens generally to see that their doors, win- dows and cellar hatches sre securely fastened before retiring to rest

Brretars.—-During Saturday night the premises ot the late Ralph Brecken, Esq., Linden Grove, were invaded by cellar thieves who effected an entrance through a coal cellar hatch, only capable of admitting a small boy or greased man. A raid was made upon a quantity of provisions, after which they sought an entrance to the dwelling by asceud- but were dis»ppointed on finding the door belted. Numerous partly burned matches marked the track of the thieves. Anyone possessing two bull dogs— one metal, the other anim ,i —will please leave them for use at the premises.

Joux R. Cranke.—The Morning Express, 0° Buffaio, N. Y., says that Ashbury Church was filled by people who had come to hear Jobn R. Clarke repeat his ‘‘To and Fro in London.” It was a very entertaining effort in song, fun, psthos, dash, descriptive prs: sages, storics of real life, bits of autobiogra- phy, sketches of greas men, all strung to- gether in a way to keep his audience delight-

ed with his bright and racy effort. John R. Clarke, with the world’s metropolis be- fore him is a most charming speaker.

“To and Fro in London,” as given by J. R. Clarke, ia a delightful kaleidoscope. The above lecturer will give two of his tamous efforts, enlitled: ‘‘Te and Fro in London,” and “Gough in Humor and Eloquence,” in the Y. M. ©. A.

Orrawa, Sept. 15.

Lieut.-Col. Macpherson, of the Governor- General's F ot Guards, hes resigned com- mand of the regiment. The matter was decided by Sir Adolph Caron to-day. The Colonel will not, however, retire from com- mand of the corps for about three months, when his successor will be aamed. The object of this move is to get the depart- ment out of the necessity of establishing a dangerous precedent in allo«ing officers to force their Colonel out of command by re- signing in a body.

The boat passed the whirlpou! rapids and out of the whirlpool safely, but when about half a mile below the whirl- poul the waves dashed in the manhole door, forcing him out into the boat. Being thrown overboard he swam through the dangerous fapids to Lewiston, a distance of three miles, where fishermen picked him up in an exhausted condition.
